Let's see some C&V guitars!
I've noticed a lot of C&V bike people talk about their guitars, fiddles, mandolins, banjos, &c even though these things are woefully off topic. Unless they're C&V, of course!
So let's see some C&V musical instruments! May I suggest, please, ONE PHOTO per post? Don't unload your whole collection on us at once! I'll start with my 1935 (or so) Gretch archtop guitar. All original except for the tuning heads (I have the original Klusons, but one is broken) http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5229/...04960700_b.jpg |
I'll respond to this later.... Family commitments for now

beautiful gitars Gentlemen. I unfortunately can't carry a tune in a bucked as they say. I do love the beauty of a wood instrument though. something about the beauty of the wood asnd the care and craftsmanship that goes into it. you can't just pic beautiful wood, it has to be certain types and specialy aged.

Let's see if this works. Here is a picture that I sent Banjo Brothers last year with one of my banjos in their basket:
http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=199170 The banjo is a composite: 1920's Gibson tube and plate hardware and solid archtop no-holes tonering, a home-made pot, and a Florentine Special inlay style neck. The bike is a 1972 Humber sports. I have lots more vintage instruments... -Mike |
Here is my 1963 (est) Harmony Stratotone Mars.

and my 1964 Epiphone Bard. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...a/DSCF0593.jpg |

You know, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this thread. I usually just look at the photos of bikes and think, "I want one of those!" but now I'm thinking I need more guitars, too.
Note to self: you don't need more guitars. |
Gibsons give me wood.

Here's my custom Tele, never play electric so it just sits, about 10+ years now...

Guild d50 001 by Chock ful o' Nuts, on Flickr Me with my Guild D50. Purchased new in 77 or 78. |
I am surprised a thread like this didn't pop before - It seems MANY C&V'ers have more than one C&V interest - Bikes, Audio, Guns, Guitars - Mandolin!

1948 Espaņa Classical. It's from Hagstrom's Lutherie, in Finland. It's one of the Journeymen Luthiers graduation to master Luthier guitars.
http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Guitar006.jpg Check out the interesting wood on the back http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Guitar014.jpg and this is parquet inlay around the sound hole, and ivory, rather than stickers and plastic. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o.../Guitar009.jpg |

However I think you might like this: http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=199215 Back to front: 1920's Vega Whyte Laydie, 1920's Vega Tubaphone (both with newer 5 string necks) and a 1912 Gibson A-1 mando, which while not in the same league as your F-4, is a sweet little player. -Mike |

I also have a Fender Stratocaster late 60's vintage that's on loan to a friend. When I got it used back around 1970 it had been spray painted white so I stripped it, stained it, put some kind of finish on it. Lots of runs so I sanded it again, at least partially. It's the same to this day. Looks exactly like Bonnie Raitts Strat.
